Patent number: 10167162Abstract: In a banknote storage box (16) of an ATM (1), a front guide (25) is attached to a front door (21) through attachment members (26) at four locations in a front guide attachment section (30). Intervals between faces (32 and 33) positioned on mutually opposite sides of each attachment member (26) are different for each of three attachment intervals LA, LB, and LC. Accordingly, in the front guide attachment section (30), a selected attachment interval LS is able to be adjusted between three steps without exchanging components by just changing the orientation of each attachment member (26) when attaching the attachment member (26).Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shuuichi Hiratsuka, Hajime Togiya, Kazuhiro Hosokawa, Wataru Wakushima

Patent number: 9592978Abstract: The present invention provides a medium protection device and a medium separating and stacking device capable of avoiding damage to a medium when moving the medium along a guide. In a banknote cassette, a guide body is attached to a circumferential side face of a central body of a tongue piece roller in a range not provided with tongue pieces. When feeding out banknotes, the banknote cassette stops the tongue piece roller in a retracted state, thereby positioning an outer circumferential face of the guide body in the vicinity of the surface of a front upper curved portion of a hole in the conveyance guide, such that the hole can be placed in an almost completely blocked state. The present invention can accordingly prevent the vicinity of a corner of a banknote from entering the hole, enabling creasing during conveyance to be forestalled.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Michio Suetaka, Takamoto Yokote, Satoru Iwasaki, Hajime Togiya
